Rappelling Down Rainier Tower

Rainier Tower, that architecturally interesting skyscraper, usually catches the eyes of tourists. However, the day I happened to walk by, it was more interesting than usual. They were holding a fundraiser where participants got to rappel down the building.














There were times where I thought this person wasn't going to make it. His feet were not even touching the side of the building. I'm sure the window washers really appreciated that. Imagine showing up at work and discovering someone had tracked mud all over the place.














I guess I don't understand the logic of this. You pay other people so you get to rappel down the building. Me, I'd take the elevator down or if the elevators were broken, I'd walk down. Now, if they paid ME, I'd consider it.















Imagine if you were attending a seminar on getting over hallucinations and this guy shows up outside your window. At least he wasn't dressed like a clown or something like that. At least, right?
